Ben Sira 16:12

12 For mercy and wrath are with him. He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out indignation:

Ben Sira 16:12 In-Context

10 He had not pity on them, destroying the whole nation that extolled them- selves in their sine.
11 So did he with the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their heart: and if one had been stiffnecked, it is a wonder if he had escaped unpunished:
12 For mercy and wrath are with him. He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out indignation:
13 According as his mercy is, so his correction judgeth a man according to his works.
14 The sinner shall not escape in his rapines, and the patience of him that sheweth mercy shall not be put off.
